After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson-a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.
But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia-only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name.the Bermuda Triangle.
Now Percy and his friends-Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson-must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family-one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Attention: All readers. If you haven't read Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan what are you doing? Go read it! If you've already read it, good for you. Now read it again. This book is more than you regular fantasy novel. Sure, it had monsters, a Titan rising from the dead, and magical vitamins. But this book separated itself from other fantasy novels. Most of the fantasy novels I read don't really tie down to reality. This is much different.The Percy Jackson books are centered around a fantastical thought, however they all have elements of realistic fiction. It's like combining your favorite realistic fiction novel, with a bunch of Greek gods. I would give this book a 10/10. It was so amazing. My favorite part about it was Percy’s relationships with all the villains. His attitude and jokes towards Luke really just made me laugh. The book is basically about Percy, a middle schooler who happens to be a demigod. After an accident in school, he flees to camp half blood. But they are under new management, which causes things to be difficult for him. Percy and Annabeth evacuate, on a quest to find Grover, and to get the Golden Fleece to heal Thalia's tree. You will enjoy this book if you have read Harry Potter, or have a thirst for comedy and fantasy. However, I don't recommend watching the movie. I felt the movie wasn't up to par with the book. Percy looked 18 not 13, and as did Annabeth.
It is good and funny! You have to read the first one to understand this one. There is some blank space where it doesn't tell what happens it just skips over that part.
Best Book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is the 2nd book of the first series and is AWESOME!
this book is amazing and so is the series!
I really want to read this book but unfortunately my school library doesn't have it in right now:(
this is one of the best books two i think that this is a great series so far. it has been very good
I love this book because it is an adventer
I really loved this book. It flawlessly continued from the first book, leaving no hiccups for the reader to stumble apon. Both of the books started with Percy at a new school, and things are about to go horribly wrong. I found it creative how Riordan managed to intertwine Tyson's and Percy's lives. Also, I found it very interesting how Percy kept comparing himself to Luke. It gave the story a new twist. But, I didn't really like how quickly some of the battles passed. The first battle, at Percy's school, seemed to happen to rapidly and disorderly for me. Other than that, I don't really have any other compaints.
